Hello, students!  I hope that you enjoyed your day off yesterday.  On Thursday, we looked at the class website.  I am wondering what you think of it?  What do you like about it?  What would you like to change or add?  I would really appreciate your feedback, so please write a comment below.  Remember, if you comment on the blog by Friday, January 25, you will get "English Bucks" that can be used to go towards a prize at the end of the semester.  I am looking forward to hearing what you think.

Wow!  I can't believe how many students came to class tonight!  It was great!  I am really looking forward to working with you all and to help get you closer to achieving your learning goals. 

Well, here I am in Hartford at a workshop that will teach me how to build a website for our class.  This is a bit overwhelming, but with a little more practice I think this website is going to be very useful for our class.  I hope that we will use this website to help us learn more about English, computers, grammar, and culture.  In addition to all of that, I hope that this website will help us build and strengthen our classroom community.  I can't wait to share it!
